Derek Jeter is inching slowly back to his normal self again after running for the first time since he underwent ankle surgery in October. According to Jon Morosi and Erik Boland via twitter, Jeter ran for just five minutes on a treadmill – progress nonetheless. The Captain also revealed that he has been given the “green light” in regards to his rehab process, meaning he has no limitations as far as baseball activities go. Barring any unforseen setbacks, Jeter should be the Opening Day shortstop.
Although it has been a long winter, especially with the copious amount of snow that hit northeast over the weekend, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Pitchers and catchers will invade the Yankees Spring Training complex in Tampa tomorrow, signaling to all of us that Yankee baseball is just around the corner.

The Yankees played poorly in the postseason. The whole team, not just one individual. It is actually amazing that the team even beat the Orioles in the Division Series. But Alex Rodriguez became the face of the Yankees’ struggles. We all know the story; Raul Ibanez hit for Rodriguez and hit 2 home runs, one to tie, one to win. Then Eric Chavez played for Rodriguez in the last game...

New York Yankees' relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain suffered a freak injury at home during the 2011-2012 offseason that caused him to miss more than half of the 2012 season. Chamberlain returned late in the year to post a 1-0 record and a 4.35 ERA in 22 relief appearances. The Yankees used him sparingly as he pitched a total of only 22 innings combining the regular season and...

To the surprise of very few, the New York Yankees head into spring training with the oldest average starting lineup in Major League Baseball. But I don't think anyone thought the gap between first and second place would have such a large discrepancy.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, the average age of the Yankees starting lineup they expect to field on Opening Day is 32...

Cano, the best in baseball, will be a free agent at the end of this season and, if the Yankees will give it to him, is inline for a $200 million-plus extension.

Over the winter, the Yankees bolted from MLB's megadeal with the legalized scalper website called StubHub, advancing some bizarre, twisted, Moonian logic that empty seats at Yankee games came about because secondary market sellers weren't gouging enough money for tickets. I personally think the Yankees' rationale stemmed from something Charo once said on the Merv Griffin...
